Firstly thank you to all of you who supported our plant sale either by
selling produce, helping out on the day and coming to buy the wonderful
plants and bric-a-brac. We raised just over £400, perhaps not as much as
some years but a really good effort after two years of lockdown.
Our
next meeting is this Thursday when we welcome back Dave Ewers for part 2
of his Woodcraft Demonstrations and Talk. Part 1 back in 2019 was very
well recieved so we should be in for a great evening.
We will have the usual raffle, members competition and seed swap.
Refreshments are being done by Chris Withey and Vicky Coral.
Don’t
forget to sign up for our next garden visit to Durmast House in Burley
on Thursday 16th June at 2pm. The cost is £10 which includes a guided
tour and cream tea.
It is time to pick up your free ticket for
our evening with our Celebrity Speaker, Andrew McIndoe, on Thursday 28th
July when he will talk about The Creative Shrub Garden. Entry will be
by ticket only - free to members and £5 for guests so please get tickets
for friends, neighbours and family and don’t forget your member ticket!
You
will also be able to sign up for our coach trip to the Chelsea Physic
Garden on Thursday September 15th. The cost is £30 which includes the
return coach to London, entry to the Gardens and a guided tour. We have
53 places so please bring friends and family.
We have been asked
if we have any members interested in being part of a team judging three
allotment sites in Ringwood. This will be end of June, early July. If
anyone is interested please contact Sally on sally.bonynge@sky.com or 01425 473082 for more information.
Looking forward to seeing you on Thursday
Your Committee
